biafra news : Nnamdi Kanu victim of false imprisonment – IPOB lawyer

 

Aloy Ejimakor, the Special Counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has described the Biafra agitator as a victim of false imprisonment by the state.

Ejimakor made the remark while stressing that Kanu was not under any charge before any court.

He noted that Kanu’s fate does not lie with the appeal before the Supreme court alone.

In a statement he signed, Ejimakor reiterated that Kanu’s release was not an act of mercy.

The statement reads partly: “To be sure, Nnamdi Kanu’s fate does not lie in this appeal alone because the appeal is but one of the several cases that were triggered – municipally and internationally – by the extraordinary rendition, and all the cases are independent, of equal stature and aimed at securing Nnamdi Kanu’s release.

“Therefore, the different moments in time when two of these several cases, in particular – the one initiated at the Federal High Court and the one initiated at the United Nations (both of which have concurrent jurisdiction over the rendition), were determined in favor of Nnamdi Kanu, the narrative that freeing him lies exclusively in the hands of the Supreme Court is fundamentally false. It is also malicious, prejudicial and profoundly injurious to Nnamdi Kanu’s legal interest, especially as it offers the authorities the umbrage and easy political cover to persist in the illegal detention of Nnamdi Kanu.

“Finally, it needs to be emphasized that for the obvious reason that Nnamdi Kanu is neither currently facing any trial, nor does he have any charges standing against him, his detention is – in reality – an imprisonment without conviction. In plain terms, he is a victim of false imprisonment by the State. A rough and tough imprisonment that is more horrendous when the locale is not a prison or a correctional institution but a hideous DSS cell, which is no different from a dank police cell or even worse in some ramifications.”

BIAFRA NEWS : Buhari Govt Plotting To Assassinate Nnamdi Kanu – U.S. Congressman

 

The Representative of the State Of Texas District 139 in the United States (US) House of Representatives, Jarvis Johnson, has accused the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration of plotting to assassinate the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

Johnson, in a letter to the US Congress, appealed to his colleagues to intervene urgently and urge the Nigerian government to release the detained leader of the pro-Biafra group.

Johnson’s letter, which was dated May 10, 2023, and marked, ‘Re: Appeal for Your Urgent Intervention in Urging the Government of Nigeria to Release Nnamdi Kanu from his Extraordinary Rendition, was made available on Thursday by the special counsel to IPOB leader, Aloy Ejimakor.

The US congressman said the IPOB leader had traveled to Nairobi, Kenya, on May 12, 2021, as a British citizen and was legally admitted. And that on June 19, 2021, agents of the Nigerian government abducted him and tortured him for eight days before his illegal rendition to Nigeria.

Johnson said: “There is now growing fear/concern that the Muhammadu Buhari administration intends to assassinate or cause Kanu’s disappearance before May 29, when it plans to hand him over to the incoming administration.

“For months now, it is public knowledge that Kanu’s health condition has deteriorated. He suffers from a serious heart condition and other ailments for which he is not getting enough medical attention.

“Appeal to the Nigeria Government to release the IPOB leader dated back to June 27, 2021.”

He said Kanu’s persecution by the Nigerian government intensified in 2015 when he (Kanu) visited Nigeria from London, the United Kingdom.

“First, few days after his arrival, on October 14, 2015, he was arrested in Lagos by agents of the Nigerian government.

“He was held in solitary confinement by the Department of State Security (DSS). Ultimately, he was granted bail by the Nigerian courts.

“After his release, he resided primarily in his ancestral home in Abia State, Nigeria, with his parents, siblings, and other extended family members.

“On October 10, 2017, to October 14, 2017, the Nigerian military attacked and invaded his home. In the process, dozens of people were killed, many were injured and maimed, while many others were captured alive and have disappeared.

“Fortunately, Kanu escaped the invasion and returned to his London residence to reunite with his nuclear family.

“On May 12, 2021, he traveled to Nairobi, Kenya, as a British citizen and was legally admitted into the country.

BIAFRA NEWS : Nnamdi Kanu happy with Biafra Republic Government in Exile – Ekpa insists

 

Popular Biafra agitator, Simon Ekpa has debunked claims made by an American lawyer, Bruce Fein, alleging that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, is displeased with the Biafra Republic Government in Exile.

In a quick rejoinder to the purported claims, through his official Twitter handle on Tuesday, Ekpa, the Finland-based lawyer who doubled as the Prime Minister of BRGIE, said Mazi Kanu is happy with the movement’s achievements.

He described Fein as a fake representative that has not achieved anything for Biafra in the past two years.

Ekpa noted that over 70 million people, including himself, fully support Nnamdi Kanu and the quest to achieve Biafra.

He noted that Nnamdi still required medical attention due to injuries he had sustained from torture under detention by the Department of State Security Service, DSS.

Recall that Kanu was re-arrested in 2019 by the Nigerian Government. Despite several court orders, President Muhammadu Buhari’s government refused to grant him bail.

“I have just been informed that MNK is pleased and very happy with the achievement of BRGIE so far. However, he still needs medical attention and surgery because of the physical torture by the DSS. He is a leader of over 70 million people, including myself. Nigeria’s terrorist Government has violated all human rights laws in MMK’s case. They continue to deny him access to physicians; they refuse to release even when the court has discharged him”, he wrote.

“Biafra Republic Government In-Exile is registered, approved and legal. Agent of Nigeria, take note! Bruce Fein Esq will remain a loser and a failure!

“Bruce Fein is inconsequential in Biafra Liberation; No, nobody is paying him a dime again. We were told his fee was 400k dollars; Biafrans distributed money to him and had nothing to show. He was receiving 50k to 60 per month. I promise him that he can not receive any dime from Biafrans again. The Fake representative has done nothing for the past two years. He travelled to Nigeria 5 good times to enjoy the hotel. He collected 50k dollars for each trip to Nigeria and did nothing. If that is not criminality, what else is criminality? At one point, he started participating in fundraising for his trip to Nigeria. By taking advantage of the situation and those who contracted him, he defrauded Biafrans”, he wrote.

In a related development, Fein came under attack on Twitter by Biafrans, displeased with his comment on BRGIE.

See reactions as follow;

@Udoka_mazi:

He needs to pay back all the money he collected to do a job for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, which he did not do; he is just onyibo 419. He is supposed to join Hushpuppy in prison for defrauding Biafrans.

@Victoriaifeom13:

Bruce Fein and his group wanted to milk Biafrans dry but thank God for our prime minister, Mazi Simon Ekpa, De good guy, the wise One, who was 10 miles ahead of them

@GDwakr1:

And look at what we have achieved in a few months without paying criminals like him. BRGIE and all Autopilot are working for the interest of the Biafra people and will continue to do so until Biafra is free from the Zoo. Because it’s a Call of Duty to serve the motherland.

BIAFRA NEWS : Tinubu urged to disregard Buhari’s ignominy, release Nnamdi Kanu

 

President Bola Tinubu has been urged to ignore the ignominy of his predecessor, ex-President Muhammadu Buhari and release Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

Aloy Ejimakor, Kanu’s Special Counsel, made the call while describing Buhari’s disregard for the rule of law as staggering.

Ejimakor noted that Kanu’s continued detention without charges was a disregard for the rule of law.

Tweeting, Ejimakor wrote: “From today to the next few days, I will do a series of Tweets inspired by Onyendu #MNK when I last visited him on Thursday.

“It’s his wish that I do so & I shall comply enthusiastically. Here’s the first Tweet: ‘Detention without any charge is the defining feature of a banana republic.

“The Buhari regime’s disregard for basic tenets of the rule of law is staggering. President Tinubu should not emulate such ignominy.

“When you don’t have any charge against a man, you free him. The continued detention of #MNK without any charge is illegal & against the Law.”

BIAFRA NEWS : No double standards on Biafra’s independence, Uwazuruike tells UN

 

The arrowhead of the Biafra Independence Movement, BIM, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, has tasked the United Nations, to avoid playing double standards on the issue of Biafra independence.

Uwazuruike, who gave the advice via a press statement signed by his Director of Information and Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mazi Chris Anierobi Mocha, also maintained that “the struggle for independence from Nigeria, is still on course”.

His words: “This press statement is in commemoration of the 23rd year of the historic re-declaration of the New Biafra at Faulks Road, Aba, Abia State, on May 22, 2000.

“The 2023 Biafra Day celebration is in line with our non-violence principle towards the carving out of Biafra as a separate, and independent state, from Nigeria.

“According to world history, there was no revolutionary struggle, no matter how long it took, ever failed to achieve its goals and objectives.”

Uwazuruike admitted that starting a revolution, as he did 23 years ago, at Faulks Road, Aba, was “the most trying times and difficult decision anyone could take in his lifetime”.

He said: “I did it and carried the cross for the sake of the oppressed and marginalized people of Biafra.”
He listed some of the activities lined up for this year’s anniversary, including, bringing the attention of the Unrepresented Nations and People’s Organizations, UNPO, and other United Nations bodies, to the fact that Biafran’s struggle for independence from Nigeria was still on course.

While recalling that the United Nations had in recent years, accorded recognition to some nations in Europe with smaller populations, he tasked the world body to avoid playing double standard on the issue of Biafra.

He said: “Free Biafra from Nigeria, by doing the needful, according to your own laid down principles on self-determination.”
On why he chose May 22, every year as Biafra Day, as against May 30, Uwazuruike explained that what he re-declared at Aba on May 22nd, 2000 ( 23 years ago) was a New Biafra.

His words: “The name, New Biafra, was derived from the fact that the Biafra of today, is different from the Biafra of 1967.
“The Biafra of 1967, was characterized by violence, which led to the loss of about three million lives, while the New Biafra, which I started on September 13, 1999, and submitted the Bill of Rights to United Nations on November 1, 1999, was built on Non-violence and Non- exodus philosophy.

“Former Biafra, led by Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, was discontinued after about three years of war, 1967 -1970, while the New Biafra, is a continuation of the former, with a new method, new concept and new ideology.”

BIAFRA NEWS : Supreme Court must set Nnamdi Kanu free – IPOB

 

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has expressed hope that the Supreme Court would set its leader, Nnamdi Kanu free.

IPOB made the remark while stressing that Kanu did not commit any offence.

The group urged its followers to be circumspective in their movement ahead of Kanu’s trial.

Emma Powerful, the spokesman of IPOB, lamented that the group’s enemies alerted security agents to attack its members.

A statement by Powerful reads partly: “It’s very important that we advise Biafrans, particularly those of us in the South East, to be circumspective in their movement these days as the case of Onyendu at the Supreme Court of Nigeria is coming up.

“It’s obvious that our enemies have already alerted their Security and Criminal Agents, who have started attacking people and security forces in the East to blackmail IPOB and ESN so as to pollute the minds of the Supreme Court Judges handling Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s case. We can assure all of them that their plans are dead on arrival.

“We, therefore, ask our people not to yield into the plans of our enemies but to remain calm, peaceful, and prayerful. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has not committed any crime known to local or international laws but is being held illegally in DSS solitary confinement because of ethnic profiling and prejudice. He must be set free by the Supreme Court of Nigeria.”
